Deltek Celebrates A Successful Week at the Sold Out National 8(A) Small Business Conference

Deltek, the leading global provider of software and solutions for project-based businesses, returned as Platinum Sponsor this week at the sold out National Small Business Conference in New Orleans. In addition to being a major sponsor of the event, over a dozen Deltek experts were in attendance to share how Deltek helps government contractors find, manage and deliver projects – including onsite demos of the industry gold-standard solutions Deltek Costpoint and Deltek GovWin IQ.

The National 8(a) Association Small Business Conference is the premier supplier diversity event for small businesses. Each year, the conference offers educational sessions, matchmaking, networking and resources for all small businesses including: minority, current and graduate 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOB, VOSB, SDB, WOSB, DBE, and teaming partnerships. The event attracted hundreds of federal agencies, large business primes, and corporate companies in one location to help grow businesses in the federal contracting arena.

2023 Growth Opportunities

Government contracting expert Kevin Plexico, SVP of Information Solutions at Deltek, led an educational breakout session at the conference to help businesses learn how to capitalize on 2023 growth opportunities. Plexico’s presentation focused on understanding the impacts of economic headwinds and opportunities afforded by record government funding levels, which will be key to ensuring successful business outcomes.

“Deltek has identified 10 major trends for contractors to watch in 2023 – some are issues affecting all industries, not just the federal market – such as inflation and the competition for talent. Others are going to be brought to the forefront with the Biden Administration, such as a renewed focus on small business,” said Plexico. “The federal contracting market is vibrant and healthy, and we will see an increased focus on enabling opportunities for small businesses to compete. Deltek can help firms understand how to future-proof their companies and set them up for success in 2023 and beyond.”
